Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Steak: Place your steak in the freezer for 20-30 minutes until it firms up, making slicing easier. Once firm, remove it and thinly slice against the grain into bite-sized strips.
  2. Make the Stir Fry Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, fresh orange juice, honey, cornstarch, and sesame oil until smooth. Set this sauce aside.
  3. Cook the Steak: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the sliced steak and season with kosher salt and ground pepper. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until browned.
  4. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and toss in the thinly sliced carrots and asparagus. Sauté for about 3 minutes. Next, add the bell peppers and snow peas, stir-frying for an additional 3 minutes.
  5. Add Garlic and Combine: Introduce the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute. Return the cooked steak to the skillet and pour the prepared stir fry sauce over the mixture, stirring continuously for about 3 minutes.
  6. Serve Your Dish: Once the sauce thickens, sprinkle sesame seeds over your stir fry and serve immediately over rice or noodles.

Notes

Slice against the grain for tender steak. High heat is essential for crisp vegetables. Experiment with seasonal veggies for variety.
